I have read so many negative reviews about the cost of the battery. I see it this way. My cats stay out of the street because of this battery that is installed. Yes almost $12.00 + S&H every 6weeks to 3 months is pricey per collar. I have 3 so far ( ordering my 3rd). Yes I do wish they cost less however I feel that as a RESPONSIBLE (not made of money) pet owner it is worth knowing my cats are safe and in their boundaries! Not in the middle of the road!

A tip for users:
A NICKEL works better than a quarter and will be far less likely to tear up the slot when turning on and off. (My diabetic sons pump has a slot just like this for his battery cover that needs to be messed with every month. A NICKEL allows us not to damage it at all)

This collar is a must! We have a miniature dachshund that barks at everything and everyone! I can live with that when she barks for a minute at the mailman, or the neighbor walking by. But when company comes over she'll bark at our guests for ten minutes. Non-stop. It scares kids, makes everyone uptight... and no conversation can be heard above her ear piercing yap.

We purchased this collar a year ago, and are just now replacing the battery. Unlike the other reviews here, I'm perfectly content with the life of the battery. For us, our little dog doesn't need it on every day. We really only want her to wear it when guests come. 75% of the time, the collar is turned off, and in the drawer. Besides I don't want her wearing it when we're not at home... then she can bark till her little protector heart's content!

After we first purchased it, she wore it everyday for training. She is completely trained now. In fact, for the last month, the battery was completely dead... and she didn't even realize it. She knows when we put it on what's in store for her, and avoids barking. Just it's presence keeps her from barking. However, the painters are starting to paint our house in a few days... and I'm ordering replacement batteries now to avoid the inevitable bark-a-thon. She's bound to figure out that battery is dead!

The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5, is because of the difficulty in finding a battery. I tried Pet Smart, Menards (where I bought the collar) and Pet Supplies Plus. They didn't even have it here at the PetSafe website! Save yourself some time and trouble and order them on Amazon.
